Sven, I am looking to include features in Metacello that require https. I have tried "copying the proper file to the proper place" and my mileage certainly does vary. I have failed with 3 of the vms that I have tried. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I believe that you are able to create a vm with squeaksll installed, but I don't have the option of telling folks to get their vm from Sven if they want to use Metacello:) I just assume that I won't be the only one to have trouble, either. If someone gave me the explicit instructions ... I'm obviously doing something wrong ... I would have more confidence that it would be a practical route to take, but pointing to a vm that works doesn't help. Using curl (installed and worked the first time on my mac:) via OSProcess is just simpler to get running. I'm just downloading a file so I am doing nothing fancy and curl works fine (and is easy to install). I still would prefer to use Zodiac.
